SMASHING PUMPKIN 2007



Come this Sunday, the 22nd of April 2007, all pumpkins in the district of Klang will run riot at the hands of about 150 rangers and leaders as they quest to be recognized as the CHAMPION of this year’s cookarama event.

Yes, you’ve heard it. The main ingredient is Pumpkin. However, before we start thinking of pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie, the organizer has decided to add a little twist to the event. In conjunction with this year’s 25th Anniversary, the organizer has decided to request that all participants include 25 items (including the pumpkin) as their ingredients. They can include water, chilies, salt, pepper, sesame seed, flour, kayu manis…whatever they can think of, but there must be at least 25 items. This will be a test of determination and passion for the chefs all around. Some (qualified) chef gave a worried look when asked to comment on the organizer’s decision of 25 items. They claimed a dish is served best with 16-18 items as their ingredient. Any additional items will serve to either spoil the dish or turn it into another dish that will be served in other events like FEAR FACTOR. However, the majority of (not qualified) chefs didn’t seem to mind the 25 items. In fact, some of them said, the more the merrier. This 25 items condition doesn’t seem to be an obstacle for them.

The judges have better prepare themselves for this round. It would also be a test of iron stomach for them if they can pull through tasting and eating about approximately 15 smashing pumpkin dishes and still survive.

Who will pull through? The qualified chef VERSUS the not so qualified chef? The judges VERSUS the dishes? Find out this Sunday, 22nd April 2007 in Grace Klang for their annual COOKARAMA 2007 competition.

WE DARE YOU !!!
